I’ve been de-cluttering my house. While I was cleaning up, I found many photos of family and friends.
One of the photos I found was of my grandpa in his favorite chair.
1. The mug probably had coffee in it.
2. Near the coffee mug is a white dish. That is his ashtray for his pipe. The smell of pipe tobacco reminds me of him.
3. He probably had a Reader’s Digest somewhere near his pile of books. He loved the Word Power section of the Reader’s Digest.
4. There was chocolate hidden near his chair. Grandpa enjoyed his chocolate and sweets.
5. The photo looks like it was taken in the winter. During the spring and summer, Grandpa would look out the window to watch the birds that flew to their bird feeder.
6. The dog on his lap is Dusty. We got her when I was 11 years old. The other dog was Dallas. Dallas died a few months after Grandpa’s death.
I love and miss this man everyday. Thanks for being a hero to me.
After we left the Muhammad Ali Center, we went to the campus of the University of Louisville. One of my students played football there from 2010 until 2014. Since I was down there, I wanted to visit the campus.
While we were at the Muhammad Ali Center, I talked to one of the people who worked there. He knew who my student was which was totally cool.
It’s a totally beautiful campus.
There is an art center by where we stopped to visit the campus. Outside the art center was different statues that I thought were cool.
A giant wishbone
The beautiful fall foliage on the campus
As I was walking around, I took a photo of the band they gave me to wear while I was in the Ali Center. I love the saying – “Be great – Do great things.”
Here is more of the campus – So beautiful in the middle of the city
The sunset – I took this photo as we were driving down the highway. I think it came out great.
We then got to our hotel and needed some dinner. We ended up at this Mexican restaurant called Mi Pueblo Mexican Cuisine. We had the best service.
We were the only ones in the restaurant until another customer came into the restaurant. They were friendly from the get go and were cheerful. We ended up leaving them a big tip when we left.
They gave us a sample of a street taco they were testing out. Pretty yummy!
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel room and just relaxed for the evening.
While we were relaxing, I figured out how the Wi-Fi works on my camera. I had tried to figure that feature out for the past month. I love it because I can download the photos onto my phone. So cool.
I can also use my phone to take photos remotely. Yeah! I’ve wanted a remote for my camera for a while.
On the next blog post, we are gong to visit the Highlands area of Louisville for breakfast and then the Louisville Zoo.
I’m going to interrupt the Imaginative One’s theme to show you this really cool pic I took over the weekend. Can you guess which animal this tongue belongs to?
The answer will be in next week’s post. Edited to add: So far the guesses have been an alpaca and camel. Neither of those guesses are correct.
